Were they dragons revealing their “genders”?
“Instead of blowing up things for a gender reveal party, the parents to be should hand out wallets. If theres a dollar inside, its a boy, if theres 72 cents, its a girl”

was this for a baby or something switching from Samuel to Samantha?
In either case I do think “gender reveal” parties are tedious.
These gender reveal parties are self centered narcissistic drivel.
I realize I’m a bit old and don’t keep up with the latest of all things,
but when did ‘idiot’ become a gender?
Another reason why gender reveals are stupid. Nothing more than a narcissistic celebration made for social media event in which snowflakes can get more free sh*t and tell themselves how important they are
Gender reveals are a perfect example of everything that is fubared in our society.
Amen. Great minds think alike.
Ill be sure to return to this thread...
There are like 72 gender options right? Add Idiot and make it 73.
Kalifornia in the middle of a heat wave and drought and somebody decides to shoot off pyrotechnics in the forest? Simply to announce the sex of an unborn child?
Meh
Were they socially distancing?/idgaf
See you then,
This will be Good.
Forget the fire, all that matters is whether this party was following social distancing guidelines and that masks were being worn.
THAT is what could put them in big trouble with the state!
I heard it’s a boy. Gonna name him Sparky.
:)
If it was a girl, they were leaning hard toward Ashley.
Not tedious as much as ridiculously spoiled pretentious status-signalling.
Another sign of how decadently spoiled-rotten we are, that we all need to have “sex parties” (which is what they actually are - gender is only for language).
Not to mention since the ‘80s everyone has to have huge birthday parties for babies and toddlers, never mind their school-age years.
It’s all ego-inflating to show everyone how rich and fun we are....(though they’ll deny the former)
